I can understand using median. Strips away outliers.

It makes sense in cases where a single billionaire throws out the average income in an area, not, say, to disregard a country of people who were invaded by the US or it’s proxy for a chart on “global” opinions.

They’re just using the preferable data. They’d use the average if it was better.

Outlires? like those whacky pesky australians lol, you can account for outlires without resorting to this lazy, cheap cherry picking. Gotta delude yourself to remain optimistic I guess.

Rare outcome, most friend groups would be like “nah dude you’re the worst get lost” and then you’d all laugh and chug another beer or whatever it is neurotypical people do when they hang out

I believe the NTs are hanging out at a pastel pink coloured restaurant with very rounded edges drinking malt milkshakes, smoking Lucky Strike asbestos filter cigarettes and listening to radio plays with your chums.

The bad boy of the group wears a black leather jacket.

Before we rumble with another crew, we practice our song and dance number with snapping fingers. As a NT, I can confirm this is what we do when you guys aren’t looking.

Lol they picked Israel, Turkey, and Tunisia as their representative sample of the middle east. First, one of these things is not like the others. Second, I can only imagine how fucking funny it would look if they actually had a representative sample of Arabic/Islamic countries.

I remember once reading that Jordan’s approval rate of the USA in 2003 was 1%

Also “Four of five Palestinians disapproved of American leadership, by far the worst perception of the United States globally”

We’re based, westerners aren’t
